Your a great help i did google and i couldn't find anything which is why i am asking here.
That's odd. Google found it straight up for me. The first thing it returned was the page for the board on the manufacturer's web site with what CPUs it supports.
Perhaps what you failed to notice is that MS-7D78 isn't the name by which that board is generally referred to but its model number.
If you don't already have that motherboard its one I wouldn't be buying now, unless I was looking for a bargain. AMD is dropping 600 series motherboards and going to 800 series.
Maybe spend a little time looking through the manufacturers site -
Spoonfeeding turned on
You'll need to actually look around this one
something tells me if you dont know if those parts are compatible, your need for the top of the range "multitasking" CPU (which for gaming isnt as good as the 9800x3d) and the top of the range GPU…you probably dont need either
So you think the 9800x3d is best for gaming?
the 9950x3d is a multitasking CPU, think photo and video editing which can utilise the extra 8x cores the 9950x3d has
almost all games just utilise single core processing power
the 9800x3d is optimized for gaming
if you wanted to save even more money, the 7800x3d is pretty much the go to for all gamers building a computer. But since your going for a 5090, pairing it with anything less than a 9800x3d would seem a bit silly
almost all games just utilise single core processing power
Nah, not since consoles went multicore. Mrthing(of the past)
@Bruceflix: yeah……..nah, the performance difference between the 9800 and 9950 x3d is insignificant for gaming, despite the 9950 having 8 more cores
all games just utilise single core processing power
That's your quote. Not talking about anything other than your quote. Not talking about difference between 9800x3d and 9950x3d. thats irrelevant to your quote
You said, "ALL GAMES JUST UTILISE SINGLE CORE PROCESSING POWER"
There was a time when that was true. but not true anymore and hasnt been for years. If it were, we'd still all be using single or 2 or 4 core CPUs.
Agree with the previous poster, if you don't know how to answer this question yourself, consult with people online or in person about your use case and what you need. You can literally waste thousands these days for no real performance benefit if you default to the "best of everything" strategy.
OP why would you want to pair $6500+ worth of gpu and cpu with a bottom rung MB?
Because they've already got it, and they want to upgrade the CPU and GPU on it?
Google?
